DR. PAUL LINEBACK DIES AT AGE OF 58
Emory Medical School Professor Had Been Ill Six Weeks.
Dr. Paul Eugene Lineback, 58, professor at the Emory University School of Medicine since 1917 and a nationally recognized authority on micro-anatomy, died yesterday at a private hospital after six weeks' illness.
A specialist in virtually every phase of animal biology, Dr. Lineback's papers had frequently been published in the American Journal of Anatomy, the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Anatomical Record. Few men are said to have contributed as much to present-day knowledge of the embryo and the colon to which he devoted years of research.
Study of Eye.
In 1928 Dr. Lineback was given an honorary lectureship in the University of London under Professor Elliott Smith. He started an intensive study of the eye which he continued up until his death.
A graduate of Drake University, Dr. Lineback had twice been listed in groups of the school's "immortals." He was one of two southerners selected last year to contribute to the Carnegie Embryological Institute's "Anatomy of the Rhesus Monkey."
A native of Winston-Salem, N. C., Dr. Lineback was born October 25, 1880. He recieved his A. B. degree in 1907 and four years later was awarded his M. D.
Work at Emory.
Dr. Lineback joined the staff of the newly established Emory University Medical school in 1917 as professor of micro-anatomy and in 1920 was made director of the department. He also served as professor of anatomy at the University of California in 1917 and 1922.
He was elected to Campbell Institute while at California and won his Phi Beta Kappa key at Drake.
He was married in 1911 to Miss Bessie Ingham. Also surviving are three children, Merrill Lineback, a senior at Emory, and twins, Carl and Ruth Lineback.
Dr. Lineback was affiliated with the First Christian church. He was a member of the F. & A. M., Sigma Chi fraternity, Phi Chi fraternity, American Association of Anatomists, Eugenics Society of America, and the Surgeons' Club of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Services will be conducted at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Glenn Memorial church by Dr. Robert W. Burns. Burial will be in West View cemetery under direction of H. M. Patterson & Son.
Pallbearers will be Dr. Daniel C. Elkin, Dr. C. W. Harwell, Dr. A. Park McGinty, Dr. Russell H. Oppenheimer, Marcus Bartlett, W. A. Dobson, Dean E. H. Rece, and Dr. W. B. Baker. An honorary escort will be formed by officers of Emory University, members of the faculty and school of medicine, and representatives of the student body and of the Fulton County medical society.
